Ok, we have the record dual victory streak. What’s the record for consecutive individual match wins in dual matches? We’re currently at 30…

Davis looks physically sturdy at 141.
To tease that out, I’d start by looking at the consecutive shutout streak record
Finishes were very clean and very smooth for Breaden.
Iowa coaching and development, it almost seems like a natural Hawk progression.
I see no chance of this. But the Ferrari-Welsh bout seems destined to go into OT at 1-1.
So before the dual started, I mentioned that my brain was fried from reffing all day, and I was out for PBP. Talk about knowing your body ... I was good for the first 3 matches. I missed a a few things in the SVN match, and by the Duke match, I was having trouble focusing on the action. And I fell asleep during the Barr match (I don't think I've fallen asleep during a PSU dual in over a decade).

You’re right. I mean it’s surely the case that the longest streak began with a win at 133 and ended with a loss at 285, right?
I have to say, every time I see a pic of sparkx I think he ought to take off the back brace.
I took a sauna just before the match and was dozing off myself. I think that’s why I thought sparks called them the scarlet mice.So before the dual started, I mentioned that my brain was fried from reffing all day, and I was out for PBP.

I view dreaming in comedy as an evolutionary advantage.
Dr ai would not give me any hints and seemed to be obsessed with psu’s 78 win streak.

Probably ought to call those falls a little quicker next week tom.
On a more serious note, a fascinating paradox…
on the one hand, as Americans, we tend to love a good underdog story.
yet the reality is, at least as to sports, we are almost compelled to tune in to see Goliath kick the **** out of David. I suppose true excellence just never gets boring to watch.

With outstanding guile, Penn State wrestlers went for the gusto today.

Davis better not have to pay for any beers at the bar tonight!
The assassin is legal. Which part of the sequence are you calling PD or giving points?
And he better not be driving through any Taco Bell drive thrus tonight!
He is talking about its illegality in HS and Middle school ["Since it's illegal in high school . . ."]
One shutout that I love to start the 7 day period. Let's see number 2 on day seven!
Just got home from the meet. A few observations:
- with a couple exceptions, Rutgers didn’t look like they wanted to compete
- I was wondering whether Scooter would physically look like a 141 lber and he did
- Might have been the best I’ve seen Rocco (small sample size, but still)
- SVN looks like a true freshman on bottom, not even trying to get hand control. It’s at least a little concerning.
- Loved the falls
Noticed that Too. SVN Better Work on Hand Control off the Bottom or he will not beat anyone really good on Top ! Good observation
No worries. He rented a Ferrari for the night. His designated driver is AJ. He's wearing his "Jesus Trained but I can't drive 55" T-shirt.
I could be wrong but it looked like Van Ness was trying to land a big move from bottom instead of just getting out and he ended up getting it.
That being said, I agree he should stop going for flash and work on just getting the escape.
It could end up being a major issue against Jaxon Joy if he doesn't go with fundamentals on bottom.

They say having a beard hides not having a chin. I think Cael’s a case of a chin hiding a beard
Or maybe he chooses feet against Joy. (Or Joy loses earlier and they don't meet.)
They say DT wants to wrestle Jax to not lose momentum, but momentum is relative in this case
Davis looks very tough at 141. Personally think we’ll be more then fine there.
Memories of Todrank!
I like the moxy. Shades of Marco Vespa. I wish more kids would YOLO their shot at someone like Mesenbrink (or Spencer).
Very tough break once again for Aaron. You have to feel for him. The depth on this team is a blessing. On balance, just hearing that Davis wasn't training to compete this year, and may have been 160 lbs no too long ago, he certainly passes the eye test. He will only get better as he is tested this month, but on balance I think the team is slightly stronger now. Not many teams can lose an AA caliber starter and not miss a beat, not to mention improve. Crazy.
